Oh yeah...As far as the 200MHz FSB on the KT400...Guess who made the only board that could hit it..?

And tell me how much of their decision had to do with the chips that they had in the boards...Every board with the Nvidia chipset CANNOT hit 200MHz on the FSB without changing voltages...I mean, the max in that article for my 7NNXP is 252MHz...The closest board to it was the Epox, and it only got to 218MHz...There was a board or two that didn't even make the 200FSB, and they all ran the same chipset...Bottom line, pound for pound, Gigabyte has the tightest board out...Upgrade...

that's an old review (march, 2003) and none of those boards are based on the ultra 400 chipset. instead, they are based on the old nforce2 northbridge which could only officially hit 167mhz. anything higher was overclocking. now, with the ultra 400 northbridge, every board can hit 200fsb officially.

but if an older (rev 1.x) 7nnxp can do 252fsb, that is indeed impressive. even some newer boards can't do that.
